Research and Development:See the list of EDI 418 segments and elements in below data grid. The Jobisez.com site has an online translation tool that converts the EDI 418 (Rail Advance Interchange Consist) document into a CSV file. For more detailed information, you can view a sample EDI 418 document by analyzing a transaction set example. If you are researching the 418s, you can view other trading partner's mapping specifications. You can also gain knowledge by researching all EDI document types. Jobisez LLC can also provide assistance if you need additional help.

Solutions:Are you looking to trade the EDI 418 transaction with one of your trading partners? Do you need an EDI VAN Savings solution to exchange the 418? Or perhaps you would like to use a Cloud-Based application, so you can plug your 418 transaction directly into your ERP and TMS systems. Even small companies have the ability to trade the EDI 418 by using the EDI Mobile Device solution.
